Computer certification programs are setting the standards for the information technology (IT) industry worldwide.
Although most careers in the IT and communications fields are lucrative and lead to rapid advancement, you can move
ahead even more rapidly if you have been certified. In fact, you often can earn a salary increase of 20% or more
once you become certified. Nowadays, having a degree in computer science just isn't enough. Companies are demanding
that their IT professionals be certified as a way to measure their skills as well as to guarantee that they can
perform their jobs successfully. In short, certification will help a computer professional get a good job and
stay competitive in what is now a highly demanding IT environment.

VBScript (short for Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an Active Scripting language developed by Microsoft. The
language's syntax reflects its history as a limited variation of Microsoft's Visual Basic programming language. VBScript
is installed by default in every desktop release of the Windows Operating System (OS) since Windows 98. It initially
gained support from Windows administrators seeking an automation tool more powerful than the batch language first
developed in the late 1970s. A VBScript script must be executed within a host environment, of which there are
several provided on a standard install of Microsoft Windows (Windows Script Host, Windows Internet Explorer).
